Post-Game Talk: ZOOMERS CRUSH THE BOOMERS

[LiveLongandProspal]

I thought Connecticut was Whalers territory and when they left, they became Bruins fans. That arena looks like it's 80% Rangers fans.

 

[Lays]

The thing you are ignoring is that Hank never played a game since.

Okay? Doesn’t change what I said at all

 

[RangersFan]

doesn't have to be the case...but you don't just magically change into the team that Gallant wants them to be over a few preseason games. there's still a lot of loosey goosey style play in their game right now and not much puck support which is how the isles kill you. If you aren't making good passes to your teammates then they'll take it the other way in a hurry.

but there's no reason the rangers can't become an aggressive team that moves the puck accurately with purpose

but again, what the hell happened there? one guy back and no support

I agree, that's the hope. It just sucks that the growth and growing pains will happen while the Isles will be in their Cup window.

Uh, Vegas magically became the team Gallant wanted them to be their first year, despite all having played elsewhere the year before.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I’m serious cause I’m not sure, do we have a shot on net ?

Kakko has one. I know that.

 

[Cmox]

Nice pass

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kravtsov is such an elegant skater

 

[CasusBelli]

Miller is f***ing terrible!

Always has been. Idk why Sam and Joe have been so infatuated with him.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Nice pass from Laf

 

[will1066]

Laf does have good vision that early turnover notwithsstanding. That's 2 very good passes in the offensive zone

 

[Kravtsov420]

Kakko has one. I know that.

The prince who was promised

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I’m glad I have the dive on. Those two Jabronies keep jabbering on and missing plays.
I think it was Lafreniere who made the bad pass that led to the goal against and then some Islander threw a flying body check and just missed one of our players. Even on the replay I couldn’t make out which players were involved.

Are they in Bridgeport? Why did I think Elmont? Lol whoops

 

[DialUp]

Right but every single player were "new" in the sense they never played together. They didn't inherit bad habits as a team to overcome.

 

[NYR]

Trouba w/ Tinordi instead of Miller on the PK

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Islanders scored first? Welp, this game is over.

 

[egelband]

Barzal doesn’t get a penalty for hooking fox’s hands?

Gamesmanship. Those Isles are so WILY.

 

[Cmox]

Nice hit

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Rangers gotta figure out a way into the isles end or its gonna be a long year.

 

[Levitate]

Uh, Vegas magically became the team Gallant wanted them to be their first year, despite all having played elsewhere the year before.

yeah and the rangers could get there this year as well, but the season also hasn't even started yet

 

[Levitate]

too many plays at the blueline though, even for the supposed crash and bang line

get it deep and forecheck

 

[Doctyl]

Did Strome just strip Fox of the puck and turn it over?

 

[Levitate]

but AGAIN what kind of play is that Strome, no one was on that side of the ice but he gives up posession to ring it around and give up an offsive zone chance

 

[mike14]

Strome and Laf have 0 chemistry/understanding of where the other one will be (which isn't surprising, but is annoying)

 

[NYR]

3 SOG??
